Yummy Presents!

Yesterday Jen and I traipsed all over Johannesburg, delivering these little goodies to some of our super clients! We can't really believe that it's that time of year already - but we're also kinda glad that it is! It's been a long and sometimes grim year, but I'm glad to say that Jen and I have come out of it all with smiles on our faces (Especially because of a few special people we get to work for and with.)

Our friend Meg, from The Counter, managed to find these great original Cuban Cigar boxes which we just had to get our grubby little paws on. Better than that - she filled them with her most delicious treats (A Brownie to die for, Rocky Road that makes you weak at the knees and a bottle of Salted Caramel which makes you feel as if you've just had the dirtiest, but sexiest, affair.) Even better - the money spent on the boxes goes to charity!

So, we thought we'd put something together for all of those people who have made our jobs that little bit easier and pleasant this year!

Thank You!

A Difficult Month Should only End in Candy

Hi All


Wow, this month has been one for the books! Whether it be due to it being absolutely terrifying and difficult to keep up with or breathtakingly wonderful. 


This month has proven strenuous for You&Me both personally and in business. I like to think that there are always two ways of coming out of moments like these, with that said I'm pleased to say that I am proud of both Jen and myself for the way that we have dealt with everything. Now we can be glad that we can add a whole squad of qualifications to our CV - Mind reader, psychologist, miracle worker and even firefighter. (We'll leave it up to you to figure those out. Excuse the "hint" of sarcasm.)


So, now that you know part of the reason that we've neglected to keep everyone updated, here's a long awaited blogpost! 


These are a few Candy Card designs we did for one of our cherished clients, Shocking Pink - http://shockingpink.co.za/ . A real fun loving and spontaneous company that are always coming up with new and exciting ideas (That Jen and I are lucky enough to be called in on to help with.) They are a company that strive to keep their customers enticed and on their toes, and we are always thrilled to be a part of that process.


These Candy Cards are just one of the ideas that Shocking Pink has come to us with. And shown above are a fraction of the designs we did for Celebration, Get Well Soon and Thank You there were also designs for Birthday, Valentines Day, Mother's Day and Love.


I'm excited for harder months to come along. Let's prove to ourselves that we're actually worth something.


We'll leave you with a note for the day, said by a special friend:
"Happy Tuesday Everyone! Don't get hit by a bus!"


Love

Happy Monday

We have a few exciting projects that we'd like to share with you all but none JUST ready to blog about.

But You&Me are not the type to leave one hanging...

So, here's to a happy happy Monday (we hope.) As Mondays go, they are definitely no friend of mine nor Jens. As a result we thought we'd share this special something to get your creative juices flowing, and hopefully start your week off with a good "I just want to make something pretty" feeling in your belly.

Penter uses watercolor and oil paints to create her detailed works of art in her new series where she sheds “new light to man and his world, rescuing the feeling of intimacy which has been lost in a globalized and immediate world.”" - (emptykingdom.com)
